DIKING OF RIVER AGAIN BEFORE PEOPLE BOARD OF TRADE WILL ENDEAVOR TO RAISE FUNDS BY PRIVATE SUBSCRIPTION J. W. DUCKWORTH ELECTED SECRETARY OF BOARD AT A SALARY OF $100 PER MONTH Once again the question of river protection is before the people. The matter was discussed at the board of trade meeting Monday night, principally by Oscar Renner, Judge Howard and G. L. Deitrich, who recently met with the supervisors as a committee from the board to protest against the destruction of the Olive bridge until the new one was constructed. Chairman Renner reported that the committee got little encouragement from the supervisors, but the conversation turned on the matter of river protection. The supervisors, he said, agreed to donate $2500 toward the work provided this community raises $3000. sideration. He will report his decision at the next meeting. The new secretary will act for both the board of trade and the merchants' association. Mr. Duckworth called attention to the fact that the speed ordinance of Anaheim was being violated to an alarming extent, and suggested that the board take action in the matter and endeavor to have the practice stopped. He suggested that this persistent violation of the law be called to the attention of the trustees and that body be asked to do something forthwith. Mr. Duckworth declared it was a constant practice for autos to tear down Los Angeles street past his residence reckless of the speed ordinance and that something should be done to safeguard the lives of pedestrians on the streets. He saw the accident on Center street Saturday morning in which George Forbes was seriously injured by a hitney, and says the machine was traveling at the rate of 20 or 25 miles per hour. The board endorsed Mr. Duckworth's remarks and instructed the secretary to present the matter to the trustees. Mr. Reuther of the Anaheim Beef and Provision company asked that the board use its influence in getting the stretch of road from the sugar factory to the packing plant repaired and placed in passable condition. Members who had recently been over the road supported Mr. Reuther in his sideration.

"They propose to tear out the old bridge and use the material in constructing approaches to the new one. The thing is in a dangerous condition if the board carries out its present idea. The supervisors want us to dike the river from the bridge up, and I believe it is to the interest of everybody in this community to dike it. The supervisors ask us to raise $3000 for this work and they will pay the balance. They also agree to appropriate $1000 per year for repairs on the work. The attitude of the board, with the exception of Supervisor Struck, was encouraging, and I believe this is the time for us to act. We can easily raise the $3000 for this work, and the proposed dike will give us ample protection. An old list on file in my office shows $1700 subscribed for this purpose. I know of one man who has signified his willingness to subscribe $500 for the project and many others will make generous donations. Men who voted to disincorporate the district will subscribe toward this fund. If we put our shoulders to the wheel and work together we will succeed. The supervisors, with the exception of Struck, are anxious for us to reach an amicable understanding and all work for the bridge, for protection, and for the interests of this community. If we raise this money which the board asks, the old bridge will stand until the new one is built." G. L. Deitrich stated that the length of the proposed diking was 4000 feet, and that the proposition was endorsed by County Surveyor McBride, who believed it would give us ample protection.

The board endorsed Mr. Duckworth's remarks and instructed the secretary to present the matter to the trustees. Mr. Reuther of the Anaheim Beef and Provision company asked that the board use its influence in getting the stretch of road from the sugar factory to the packing plant repaired and placed in passable condition. Members who had recently been over the road supported Mr. Reuther in his contention that the road was almost impassable. The good roads committee was instructed to confer with our supervisor and endeavor to have some repairs made. Many bouquets were also thrown to Mr. Reuther and his enterprising company. A number of sample pennants were exhibited for the board's selection of an official streamer for Anaheim. Three or four were sent in by pennant manufacturers, but one submitted by Prof. Hauck, the work of the Anaheim high school, was adopted. It contains, at the base, an orange branch, with a cluster of oranges, an interwoven with it are the words, "Frostless Belt." Beginning at this cluster the words, "Anaheim.Cal." are printed lengthwise of the streamer, the letters being graduated in size. It is an artistic and appropriate pennant and will be carried by all patriotic Anaheimers on their autos. Several bills were allowed, but one presented by Herald for cuts engraved by a Los Angeles firm for the pamphlet recently issued was held up. The bill was for $119.80, and Mr. Gresswell of the advertising committee asked that it be rejected on the ground that it was exceedingly high. A representative of the paper stated that the engraving firm had agreed to shade the bill $5, but this was not satisfactory. The meeting was held at the Palm Cafe on East Center street, where a lunch was served by Manager Bettriell. A larger attendance than usual was present, the dining room being full.

Deltrich stated that the length of the proposed diking was 4000 feet, and that the proposition was endorsed by County Surveyor McBride, who believed it would give us ample protection. A pile driver is already on the ground and can be used in the work. Charles Eygabroad suggested that the community interested should be divided into five sections and that a committee be appointed from each section for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions. Also that each committee be authorized to select two assistants, and that a day be fixed on which they should begin work. He believed the money could be raised in a single day. The suggestion was adopted and the chairman will make his selections and announce the committee later. The proposition which has been under discussion for a year, to engage a secretary who can devote his entire time to the work, and pay him a reasonable salary, was brought to a head. A joint committee of the board of trade and merchants' association has been considering the matter, and Chairman Eygabroad announced that an agreement had been reached. The merchants' association representatives agreed to pay $35 per month of the salary, and the board of trade committee had pledged that body for $65 per month, making the secretary's salary $100 per month. They also agreed in recommending J. W. Duckworth for the position. Mr. Eygabroad's report was unanimously endorsed, but Mr. Duckworth announced that he would not commit himself until he had given the matter due con- BLACKEYE AND LIMA BEANS MONEY MAKERS Messrs Cook Bros. Will Harvest 10,000 Sacks on the San Joaquin Ranch John Cook in partnership with his brother has 1000 acres in lima and blackeye beans on the San Joaquin ranch and expects to harvest 10,000 sacks. Harvesting will begin about the middle of August. The beans never promised better results than this year and the yield will be heavy. It is said the Talbert lands on the southern mesa are classed as the best bean lands in the state, and in many instances the Orange county land yields better than the Ventura section. Messrs. Cook Bros. are dry farming enthusiasts and it is through their expert knowledge of the proper tilling of the soil that their good stand of beans is due. There has been no rainfall for many weeks, but at the present time, by digging down 4 or 5 inches, plenty of moisture is found. After the soil has been thoroughly prepared for the crop and the same has been seeded, a "blanket" of soft soil is skillfully placed over the surface by cultivation, thereby holding the moisture. Blackeye beans are rated as one of the best cover crops, equalling burr clover. After the bean vines have been cut off at the top of the ground the roots remain underneath, thereby replenishing the humus. The more crops of beans harvested the richer becomes the soil as each recurring bean crop offers its new supply of roots which transmit the oxygen into the soil. Fourteen selections from the works of the best composers, and four of the competing class but it is not known will be selected by any charge. These will only when the competition at the song testants in each of them will sing the same song that they be more sure by the judges, and then the advantage over highest scorers in this will receive the three contest for the one song will be re-competed. This set be announced only when opens. The music class Concordia is composed have demonstrated thirteen in the musical world can do it again.

These songs are all new. They are the work of great composers, but under the leadership of Prof. Ludwig Thomas the society has made wonderful progress and is handling these difficult pieces of music in an able manner. At the saengerbund the Anaheim singers will compete for two prizes. A golden cup offered by Emperor Franz Josef Austria. for the fact that those who attend the Saengerbund will be deprived of the pleasure of hearing some of the foremost singers of Germany and Austria. It was the expressed intention of singing societies of Berlin and Vienna to visit California and attend this singing festival, but word was received by the directors at Los Angeles a short time since that the war had interfered with their plans and the proposed trip had been cancelled. On Sunday, July 18, the directors of the Saengerbund will be in Anaheim for the purpose of inspecting the local society and arranging for the visit to the three-day entertainment. These visitors are among the foremost musicians on the coast. The Anaheim Concordia also is arranging for a concert for the purpose of raising funds for purchasing a banner to carry with them to the Saengerbund. The banner will cost $65.

HOW TO RESCUE AND RESUSCITATE DROWNING LECTURED TO FIRE DEPARTMENT AT MOOSE HALL TUESDAY ON ASPHYXIATION Fred H. Killick of Los Angeles, instructor in resuscitation, swimming and life saving, is in town this week, demonstrating his work and teaching people how to save life and preserve health. Mr. Killick was for a number of years a student of resuscitation in the French, Belgian, Holland and English life saving stations. He was nine years instructor in swimming at Sutro baths, San Francisco, and for four years was instructor at the Blimini bath house, in Los Angeles. Mr. Killick spent Tuesday morning at the Y. M. C. A. swimming pool. At the Saengerbund the Anaheim singers will compete for two prizes. A golden cup offered by Emperor Franz Josef of Austria, and a silver cup, given by the Pacific coast society. On the same occasion a golden cup, presented by Kaiser Welhelm, will be contested for, but the Anaheim club is not strong enough numerically to compete for this, as the contest is confined to clubs having 35 or more singers in the line-up. For the Austrian cup classes of 24 or 16 members can compete. This contest will be held at "The Grand Pacific Saengerbund," at Temple Auditorium, which begins Friday July 29, and continues three days. It will be one of the greatest musical treats ever presented in this section of the country, as all the musical classes belonging to the society in the Pacific coast states will participate. Madame Schuman-Heink, the noted prima donna, will sing a number of solos, all of the societies joining in the chorus. Other singers of note will contribute to the entertainment. The singing clubs will be divided into three classes. The first class is composed of clubs having 35 or more singers, the second to those having 24 or more, and the third must have 16 or more members in the class. The Anaheim society will be in the second class as it will have 24 men in the contest. Only those of the first class are permitted to compete for the Kaiser's cup, but the second and third classes can enter the contest for the Franz Josef prize. A silver cup will be presented to the winner in each of these classes, these being the regular prizes offered by the Pacific coast society. The two gold cups from the imperial donors are especial prizes, and one of the conditions under which they are presented is that no singing class can hold either one of them two years in succession. The Kaiser's cup is now held by the Turnverin of Los Angeles. In competing for the Franz Josef cup the contestants must sing with an Austrian accent. Fourteen selections have been made from the works of the world's great composers, but under the leadership of Prof. Ludwig Thomas the society has made wonderful progress and is handling these difficult pieces of music in an able manner. Miss Sarah Fay McKinley was married at the home of her grandmother, Sarah J. Fay, on Wednesday afternoon last, LeRoy McWerthy of San Francisco, being the groom. Miss McKinley is the daughter of Mrs. C. G. McKinley and granddaughter of Mrs. Fay. The ceremony was performed on the law of the Fay home, which had been artistically decorated for the occasion, Mrs. C. O. Rust and Mrs. J. J. Dwyer having charge of the decorations. An altar of ferns and shasta daisies had been erected on the lawn under which the young couple plighted their vows. Rev. David Todd Gillmor was the officiating clergyman. Only the relatives and a few intimate friends of the family were present. The young couple received many beautiful and costly gifts from friends here and elsewhere. After the ceremony they left for Los Angeles in an auto and took the train there for San Francisco where they will make their home. Mr. and Mrs. McWerthy became acquainted at Stanford university where they were members of the same class. MRS. ROBERT WILSON BURIED FRIDAY Services at Cemetery Under Auspices Of Eastern Star and Rebekahs Impressive funeral services were held for Mrs. Robt. Wilson at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors on Friday afternoon, when a large concourse of sorrowing friends gathered to pay their respects to the departed. Rev. F. W. Mitchell of the Presbyterian church preached the funeral sermon. Interment was made in Anaheim-cemetry. The Eastern Star and Rebekahs of which deceased was a member, conducted the services at the grave. The floral pieces were beautiful. Heartfelt sympathy is extended the family in the hour of their bereavement. Mrs. Mary J. Wilson had been a resident of Anaheim for the past eight years. She was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1855, and in 1877 she was married at Stratford, Ontario, to Robert Wilson. They moved to St. Paul, Minn., and resided there 21 years pre-demonstrating his work and teaching people how to save life and preserve health. Mr. Killick was for a number of years a student of resuscitation in the French, Belgian, Holland and English life saving stations. He was nine years instructor in swimming at Sutro baths, San Francisco, and for four years was instructor at the Blimini bath house, in Los Angeles. Mr. Killick spent Tuesday morning at the Y. M. C. A. swimming pool, teaching the youngsters how to swim, how to save life and to rescuscitate drowning people. He also teaches people how to resuscitate persons overcome by gas, smoke, electric shocks, etc. In his work and demonstrations Mr. Killick's tools are simple, his kit consisting of six towels, two table napkins, three pocket handkerchiefs, one blanket, one bed sheet, 75 feet of sushi cord, two 8-foot poles, a large title, two small sticks, three feet long and one glass candy jar half filled with water. Tuesday evening Mr. Killick lectured at Moose hall to the fire boys and gave them some practical demonstrations of how to resuscitate persons overcome by smoke, flames and gas. He has made life saving his work from boyhood days and many people throughout the world owe their lives to his skill; resuscitating people overcome in burning buildings is one of his specialties, and he makes it a point to lecture to fire departments wherever he goes. His methods are simple, but he claims if there is a spark of life left in an asphyxiated person it can nearly always be fanned into a flame by proper work. He has saved people who have been under water thirty minutes and were given up for dead, and the way to do this is one of the things he is teaching. On Monday next he will give a lecture to the ladies at the Y. M. C. A. pool, and will also teach them how to swim and how to assist drowning people. How to act when a boat capsizes is one of the lessons he teaches. At the swimming pool Tuesday he pulled five boys out of the water at one time with a rope, showing how they should act in rescuing a parry from a capsized boat. He also treats diseases such as consumption, heart disease, insomnia, nervousness, etc., by teaching the patients how to swim. He claims these diseases can be successfully treated by the exercise of swimming. Mr. Killick has traveled much, al- The two gold cups from the imperial donors are especial prizes, and one of the conditions under which they are presented is that no singing class can hold either one of them two years in succession. The Kaiser's cup is now held by the Turnverin of Los Angeles. In competing for the Franz Josef cup the contestants must sing with an Austrian accent. Fourteen selections have been made from the works of the world's greatest composers, and from this list each of the competing classes will sing six, but it is not known which of the list will be selected by the committee in charge. These will be announced only when the competitors enter the contest at the songfest. The contestants in each of the three classes will sing the same selections, in order that they be more accurately graded by the judges, and that none will have the advantage over the others. The highest scorers in the three classes will receive the three silver cups. In the contest for the golden cups only one song will be rendered by each competitor. This selection, also, will be announced only when the contest opens. The music class of the Anaheim Concordia is composed of men who have demonstrated their high standing in the musical world heretofore and can do it again. They are now under the leadership of Prof. Ludwig Thomas of Los Angeles, one of the foremost directors in the west. Last year Prof. Thomas was conductor of the musical department of the Los Angeles Turnveren and helped that society win the Kaiser's golden vase in competition with the greatest musical societies in the country. He has unbounded faith in his pupils here, and thinks they will make good in the fast company in which they will find themselves at Temple Auditorium. The war in Europe is responsible Mrs. Mary J. Wilson had been a resident of Anaheim for the past eight years. She was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1855, and in 1877 she was married at Stratford, Ontario, to Robert Wilson. They moved to St. Paul, Minn., and resided there 21 years previous to coming to Anaheim. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson came to Anaheim in 1907 and for a couple of years conducted the old Anaheim bakery on West Center street. They disposed of this business and opened the City Bakery, also on Center street and conducted it until a week or two previous to her death, which occurred at her home on Chestnut street Wednesday, July 7. Mrs. Wilson suffered several months from internal cancer. She leaves a husband and two children, Clarence Wilson of San Francisco, and Mrs. A. H. Every of Tacoma, Washington. The lighting district project, at Buena Park which was carried at the polls only to be knocked out by a defect in the original petition, has been revived. A new petition has been signed by 26 bona fide property owners residing in the proposed district and the petition is regarded as flawproof from a legal standpoint. The document has been filed with the supervisors. The new boundaries named for the district reduce the territory and cut out Orangethorpe, where most of the opposition developed during the late campaign. The petitioners are now confident that the project will carry with a rush. Marriage license was issued this week to William F. Stock and Emily Haynes, both of Anaheim. At the swimming pool Tuesday he pulled five boys out of the water at one time with a rope, showing how they should act in rescuing a party from a capsized boat. He also treats diseases such as consumption, heart disease, insomnia, nervousness, etc., by teaching the patients how to swim. He claims these diseases can be successfully treated by the exercise of swimming. Mr. Killick has traveled much, always in pursuit of his trade, which is life saving. He made a trip through Alberta and Athabaska in Northwest Canada in 1894-95, visiting the Bishop's missions, breasting the weather when the thermometer was 92 degrees below zero. He tells how he cached a helpless man in a hammock swing nine feet high in that ice-bound aid, and found him safe after four days and four nights although the country was invested with wolves and other wild animals. Mr. Killick will remain here another week, and probably will give frequent demonstrations of his knowledge in his chosen pursuit. He charges nothing for his lectures or his exhibitions, his mission being merely to teach people how to preserve and save life. On Wednesday afternoon the members of the Eastside Thimble club were most hospitably entertained by Mrs. O. W. Clark, at her home on Olive road. The cosy living room was comfortably filled with ladies and a very pleasant time was spent with fancy work and lively conversation, the guests being Mrs. Davis and Miss Lucille Davis of Los Angeles and Mrs. Duff of Anaheim. At the close of the afternoon delicious refreshments consisting of fruit salad, cakes and fruit punch were served by the hostess. The next meeting of the club will be held the first Wednesday in August at the home of Mrs. S. Tucker. FIRE BREAKS OUT IN EARLY MORNING Williams Brothers' Real Estate Building Partially Destroyed by Flames The siren's piercing note at half-past three o'clock yesterday morning woke hundreds of citizens from their slumbers and startled the fire laddles from their beds. The blaze was discovered at the corner of Center and Atchison streets. It is occupied as a residence by S. E. Starr and family, Mr. Starr being agent for Williams Brothers, a front room being used as an office. Notwithstanding the hour and the distance the fire department reached the scene in time to save the building from destruction, only the rear end and the interior being burned. The fire is supposed to have been caused by electric wires. Mr. Starr was awakened at half past three by his wife who told him she believed the house was on fire. Springing out of bed he threw open the kitchen door, and found the room filled with flames. After turning in the alarm the family began removing their furniture and succeeded in getting most of it out of the front rooms. The loss has not yet been determined, but Mr. and Mrs. Starr lost a considerable portion of their household effects.

SHORT WEIGHT BUTTER CASE WILL BE FOUGHT Was to Have Been Heard in Court Today, Postponed to July 29 The complaint of George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, against the Armour Packing Co., of Los Angeles, charging it with delivering short weight butter here, which was to have been heard in Justice Howard's township court this morning, has been postponed until the 29th inst. It is understood the packing company will fight the case, but as McPhee is known himself to be considerable of a scrapper, he will be on hand to uphold the law. He has not lost a single case in court since assuming his office, and has been the means of inflicting severe penalties upon offending wholesalers. McPhee seized a quantity of butter shipped to a local market sent by the Armour company some days ago, finding it to be a half ounce short to the pound. On weighing the consignment and finding it short, he telephoned the Armour company's representative in Los Angeles that if he would go into court and enter a plea of guilty he would see that a nominal fine was imposed. The representative did not see fit to do so, and McPhee swore to a complaint in the district attorney's office, charging the wholesaler with short-weighting his customer. The case will probably be vigorously fought in court. McPhee states that butter which is a half ounce short to the pound saves the wholesaler with butter at 30 cents per pound, $18.75 to the ton. This shortage, he states, is sufficient to pay brokerage, commission and express charges. As the housewife pays this amount, if she is short-weighted in her purchases, McPhee proposes to see that this practice be stopped. Recently 3,000,000 pounds of butter was shipped from San Diego to England. If this butter was short weight, a half an ounce to the pound as McPhee has found many consignments July 8, with Trusees Cook, Stark, Hamler, Schneider and Brunworth and Attorney Ames present. City Clerk Merritt read the minutes of the last regular meeting which were approved. Resolution of Intention No. 121, ordering pavement on Broadway and also providing for the elimination of a 16 foot strip for parking upon that thoroughfare, was presented. The resolution provides for the paving of Broadway from East street to Lemon at the present time. The paving of that street to the western terminus is to be taken up latter. Proceedings are now pending between the city and the Southern Pacific railroad company whereby the latter corporation is to grant the city an easement for the widening of Broadway in the railroad reservation at Loara. At present the street there is but 40 feet wide. The idea is to have the street of a uniform width of 60 feet, that being its dimension from Lemon to East street. By the time the paving is completed to Lemon street, it is confidently expected the legal proceedings providing for its western widening will be complied with, and the additional paving will proceed. A number of citizens were present at the meeting and made vigorous protest to the contemplated parking to be inaugurated upon Broadway. Mrs. John Hahn presented a written protest, claiming that the street is too narrow to permit of such parking. Mrs. Hahn otherwise protested to the parking, claiming it to be impractical, and would be a source of constant expense with no resultant good to the people. Mr. Hahn also voiced his protest to the parking. Alex Henry entered a vigorous protest, claiming it to be entirely out of reason to establish parking upon this fine residence street. It would multitate the best street in town, he said, and he was unalterably opposed to the parking proposition. L. Goble also protested, arguing that only a year or so ago people cut out trees to widen the street. Now the idea is to again curtail its width. Mr. Goble was very much opposed to the idea. He stated that he did not know of a single resident on Broadway who was in favor of it. Oliver Hill also entered a protest, saying he wants a wide street in Broadway and wants none of the parking. R.

The club will be held in August at theucker. Twenty-seven members were initiated into the new Sons of Herman lodge, Sunday, and the newly elected officers were installed. 125 visitors were present, coming from San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Oxnard and other towns, many of them being ladies, Julius Van Nastitz, grand president, of San Francisco, Otto Dreisler, ex-grand president, of Los Angeles, B. Fredde, grand secretary, San Francisco, and Ed Stuetz, grand guide, Los Angeles, were the installing officers. The officers of the lodge are Max Junge, president; Theodore Roberts, secretary; A. Plepenbrink, vice-president; Joe Lauterback, master of finance; Max Salschelder and Rinehold Schellens, trustees, and F. Lautenback guard. A sisters lodge, auxiliary to the sons, will be started later. Street Commissioner Sackett has been sick for some days past but is now on the mend. that only a year or so ago people cut out trees to widen the street. Now the idea is to again curtail its width. Mr. Goble was very much opposed to the idea. He stated that he did not know of a single resident on Broadway who was in favor of it. Oliver Hill also entered a protest, saying he wants a wide street on Broadway and wants none of the parking. R. C. Spoerl protested, saying the street was entirely too narrow to permit of the parking. Wm. Frantz favored the plan, and submitted photos he has taken of a street parking in an up-valley town. He was of the opinion that the parking on Broadway would be the proper caper. The trustees decided to defer action until tomorrow night, when the board will meet in special session to further consider the parking. Property owners on Broadway will be given opportunity to petition the trustees for or against the proposition. Should a majority object to the parking it will be abandoned, while if a majority of the taxpayers favor the plan the trustees will carry out that idea. Petitions have been circulated during the week, and the same will be presented to the trustees tomorrow night, when final action will be taken in reference to the matter. The paving of Broadway, however, will continue. It is contended by the trustees and others that by the reservation of 16 feet in the roadway for parking, a saving of $1 per foot will be gained by taxpayers in their paving bill, approximately $17,000 for the entire length of the 8500 feet. By putting in the park a strip 22 feet wide on each side will be paved, while if the entire street is paved property owners on each side of Broadway will be assessed to pay for 30 feet. The paving will cost about 14 cents per foot. Owners
